SANITARY BRUSH.

To all 'whom t may concern.:

Be it known that I, FAYETTE H. BACH- MAN, citizen of the United States, residing at Oakland, in the county of Alameda and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Sanitary Brushes, of whicht e following is a speciiication.

'Ihis invention is a sanitary brush, having a detachable cup to catch the drippings from the bristles of the' brush.

The invention is particularly applicable to shavingbrushes.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing which forms a .part of this specification and the appended claims.

Referring to the drawing:

Figure 1 is an elevation of the brush.

'Fig'. 2 is a longitudinal section of the brush.

Fig. 3 is a view in elevation with the handle detached from the rest of the brush.

Fig. 4 is a view in elevation illustrating the bristle mounting.

Fi 5 is an elevation of the cup for catchinit e drippings.

ig. 6 is a sectional view taken on line .6-6 eif- Fi 1.

In the rawings 1 indicates the bristles and 2 the mounting therefor. The mounting is iormed with a shank 3 and a shoulder 4. Pins 5 project laterally from the shank 3. -A' cu 6 formed with a sleeve 7 and provided wlth slots 8 in the sleeve and in the lower wall of the cup receives the brush mounting; the shoulder 4 resting on said lower wall, the shank 3 fitting in sleeve 7 and pins 5 extending through slots 8, thus properly holding the cup on the cup mounting against turning. On one end of a handle 9 1s secured a sleeve 10 extending beyond the end of the handle to receive the sleeve 7 and shank 3 and said sleeve 10 is provided with bayonet slots 11 to receive pins 5, the

Specification of Letten Patent.

Application led September 19, 1918. Serial No. 254,813.

shank 3, sleeve 7 and the slotted sleeve `l0 rforming a bayonet joint for detachably holding the. parts of the brush assembled, so that the cup and mounting may be readily cleaned of the drippings which fall into the cup from the bristles of the brush.

A gasket 12 fits over the shank 3 against the shoulder 4 and forms a seal to prevent the contents of the cup 6 from leaking out the bottom thereof into the bayonet joint.

The handle has aI flat end 16 which is adapted to rest upon a flat surface and hold the brush in an upright position with bristles uppermost and the cup below the bristles to receive the drippings therefrom.

Having described my invention, I claim:

1. In a brush, bristles, a mounti for Said bristles including a shank, and a s oulder, a cup formed with a sleeve on the bottom of which cup rests said shoulder andin which' sleeve fits said shank, said sleeve being provided with a longitudinal slot, a pin on said shank projecting through said slot, a handle, a sleeve on said handleadapted to fit over the sleeve on said cup, and means on said handle sleeve for engaging said pin to hold said mounting, cup and handle together.

2. In 'a brush, bristles, a mounting for said bristles, including a shank, and a shoulder, a cup provided with an opening and a slot in its bottom wall, on which wall rests said shoulder and through which opening projects said shank, a pin on said shank adapted to pass through said slot when said shank is projected through said opening, a handle, a sleeve on said handle adapted -to fit over said shank against the bottom wall of the cup, and means on said handle sleeve for engaging said pin to hold said mounting, cup and handle together.
